United States Thermometer Market Size Insights Forecasts to 2035

• The US Thermometer Market Size Was Estimated at USD 543.8 Million in 2024
• The Market Size is Expected to Grow at a CAGR of around 8.32% from 2025 to 2035
• The US Thermometer Market Size is Expected to Reach USD 1309.9 Million by 2035

According to a Research Report Published by Spherical Insights & Consulting, the United States Thermometer Market Size is anticipated to reach USD 1309.9 Million by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 8.32% from 2025 to 2035. The expansion of the United States thermometer market is propelled by an increase in the incidence of diseases like dengue, malaria, and infectious diseases like influenza, as well as a greater understanding of the significance of taking one's body temperature.

Market Overview

An apparatus or tool that determines a substance's temperature, whether it be a solid, liquid, or gas, is called a thermometer. Based on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) disease data, there are roughly 2,000 malaria cases in the United States each year. Therefore, it is necessary to have equipment or gadgets that measure temperature to help manage health-related issues. Finally, the CDC estimated that flu would result in approximately 18 million disease cases, 210,000 hospitalizations, and about 13,000 deaths in the United States in 2023. Additionally, the pace of the market growth is also impacted significantly by the rising health consciousness and awareness of patients. The market is expected to grow since health professionals are determined to normalize using thermometers and measuring the patients' body temperature throughout patient assessments. This rise results from heightened awareness among other end users, like the food, chemical, and pharmaceutical sectors, which depend on maintaining particular temperatures throughout the whole product manufacturing process. Given these factors, they are anticipated to drive more entrenched market growth throughout the expected period.

The federal government of the U.S.A. has pushed thermometer innovation with grants, work on research, and development methods, in a more aggressive way. In a pandemic context during COVID-19, the NIH and CDC advanced the Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics (RADx) program to promote the rapid development of point-of-care diagnostic tools with expedited funding strategies, including rigorous, accelerated funding.

Restraining Factors

The United States thermometer market faces obstacles like it will struggle to handle both conditions, such as vibration and high heat. Each will be able to change the measurement of the dial. Therefore, one should stay away from areas where either of these two factors could affect how a thermometer is adjusted.

Market Segmentation

The United States thermometer market share is classified into product and application.

• The mercury-free segment held the largest market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a remarkable CAGR during the forecast period.

The United States thermometer market is segmented by product into mercury-based and mercury-free thermometer. Among these, the mercury-free segment held the largest market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a remarkable CAGR during the forecast period. The segment is driven by infrared radiation thermometers, and other types. Because they give better temperature readings and are no longer associated with the threat of mercury poisoning, the market for mercury-free thermometers, like digital thermometers and infrared radiation thermometers, is expected to grow substantially.

• The medical segment held the highest revenue share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.

Based on the application, the United States thermometer market is segmented into medical, industrial, food, laboratories, and others. Among these, the medical segment held the highest revenue share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. The segmental growth is propelled by the structure of the healthcare system in place and the abundance of conditions requiring to measurement of an individual's body temperature. These innovations in thermometer technology are a leading cause of growth in this segment.
